Full Company Name & Jim's Comments:

VZ

31.88

Verizon (VZ)

Jim:   I did not like that announcement about the pension… I should have been able to figure that out myself… in the end it has got a 6% yield… as long as that yield is above 5%, I am going to continue to hound home that I think Verizon makes sense for investors… I like FiOS, I think they are going to pick up some share… I think Verizon wireless is on fire… but most importantly I liked it, and have liked it all the way down for the yield… I will get off of the Verizon bus when it yields less than 5%.

Price target to sell Verizon:
When the dividend yield falls below 5.0%.

COMS

7.64

3Com Corporation (COMS)

Jim:   You are done… the question is answered like this… sell, sell, sell.. you have got a huge, huge win… Congratulations in 3Com… now, we try to find the next 3Com… that is a home run… do not turn it into a triple… take the profits… ring the register… and then we look for the next 3Com… that is how we play it on Mad Money.

MYL

17.77

Mylan, Inc. (MYL)

Jim:   No, not Mylan is just not my favorite… Why do I want to have that just old generic model...when I can go buy Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA), which has the best generic and has proprietary, in other words prescription drugs?… I think you swap out of Mylan and get into Teva, even though it was at its 52 week high today… cause you obviously have a pre-election for the generics.

TEVA

58.97

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA)

TEVA

GLW

20.49

Corning Inc. (GLW)

Jim:   I should, I should… Corning blew up so many times… that I have not gotten people back into it… that is my bad… I see everybody raising numbers now… if I missed the Corning boat… I think that it can go to $26 when I sold it for ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust… it is an up stock so to speak.. I think that it gets trapped at $20 by opts expiration at the end of the week… but I like the story, I think that you are on a winner.. I wish that I had been there earlier.

SLM

11.48

SLM Corp. - Sallie Mae (SLM)

Jim:   Well, Sallie Mae was my speculative stock of the year last year and I am not going to go back to the well… I still like it at $11.60... I recommended it at the $6 range, but I am not going to tell you to go buy that stock up here when I told you to buy it at $6... if anything, you know how I feel, never turn a profit into a loss… that is what I coach here on Mad Money.

STZ

15.69

Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ)

Jim:   Not my favorite, not my favorite… and that beer business though , I have got to tell you, I saw that Heineken deal with the Tecate and the Dos Equis, and that was a big deal… I would not sell here, but if it got north of $20, you ring the register and be thrilled that you got out without a big loss… because that stock has been a real bow-wow…. and nothing can change that.

MTW

13.40

Manitowoc Co. Inc. (MTW)

Jim:   Well, you know MTW has improved… it reminds me, it was struggling, it paid too much, it has made some uh… frankly, it made a bad acquisition… however, however, along with Bucyrus (BUCY), and Cramer-fave, Joy Global (JOYG), it has been doing well, it has moved back… the crane business, people think is going to come back… none the less, I am not a believer… I would rather see you in Bucyrus, which did not keep pace with Joy Global, which was upgraded this morning.

SEED

13.54

Origin Agritech Limited (SEED)

Jim:   Can you believe that… I look at that thing everyday and it is just a monster trader… how can I help? You probably asked me whether I like it… you know what, I think that it is… and I know that I usually do not punt like this… it is too hard… it is literally too hard, they had a monster good quarter, then a bad quarter, then a monster good quarter… this one is too hard for me… sometimes you have to say to yourself, you know what, I am leaving that one to others… too darn hard for Cramer.

PCU

34.51

Southern Copper Corp. (PCU)

Jim:   Well, then you are in good shape my good man.. because that is one of the cheapest copper producers in the world… that stock is 2 points off of its high, I think that it can go much higher… and I am strictly in the buy, buy, buy camp with PCU… do not forget, that is the old Southern Peru Copper… and Peru, although they could not find any representation of Peru other than like a picture of Macchu Picchu… we do like the country, the shining path is now history.

ALOG

39.55

Analogic Corporation (ALOG)

Jim:   I should have been recommending this stock the whole time… it has got this great pastiche, if not mosaic, of some medical business… you know why have I not been recommending this? You know what? I have got to do more work… I have got to find out why I have not been recommending it, maybe there is something that I have been missing… let me come back on that… I know I got some holes, I did not know Analogic and I did not know national beverage… that is okay, better just to own it… how can you know so many stocks? I don’t.

BZ

5.79

Boise, Inc. (BZ)

Jim:   I like this stock…Now, here is the rap on this stock, why people do not want to get in it… because a year ago it was… this thing has had some move, I mean a year ago this week it was at .02 cents… everyone says wait a second, I am late at $5... I like Corrugated, I like Temple-Inland Inc. (TIN) better… I like International Paper (IP) better… but you know, that is a decent spec.

TIN

19.80

PBI

22.27

Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI)

Jim:   Alright, Pitney Bowes, I am troubled… I have it in my book Getting Back To Even, I like it… I think that dividend is safe… I bumped into this terrific guy when I was in Mexico recently, and the guy was like a competitor, a Mom and Pop competitor… he is killing them… and he made me rethink this whole story… I am not kidding, when you meet a guy and he tells you this story, Pitney Bowes may have gotten too fat… we should have them on this show to verify again that that dividend is safe…. that is my pledge, I will not just reiterate again that the dividend is safe… I need to know more, Pitney Bowes.

TNDM

19.79

Neutral Tandem, Inc. (TNDM)

Jim:   I do not know why it is not doing better, honestly… Neutral Tandem has got… I mean Neutral Tandem is kind of like a tsunami play… but it just does not have any mo-jo… let me do some work over the weekend, I will come back with a better reason about why that stock does not act well… because it is in some bearish roll, when it is surrounded by bulls.

MNKD

10.37

MannKind Corp. (MNKD)

Jim:   Too hyped, too hyped… there is just too much hype involved this insulin play… insulin would be a great thing to have but the CEO talked the game up.. I think that it is a too talked up game stock… it is not as bad as Bio ?, which I told you was way over-hyped.. but I worry about hyped stories… I say ex-nay, MannKind-nay.

UNG

10.09

United States Natural Gas ETF (UNG)

Jim:   Listen man, you have got to go buy Getting Back To Even, and go buy it now… I literally tell you why that is one of the most dangerous games in the world… you do not want to be in that natural gas ETF… it is just so problematic, it is just awful… I do not want you in it or the United States Oil ETF (USO), or any of the ETF’s involving physical commodities other than the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD), which is gold.

USO

MO*

20.38

Altria (MO*)

Jim:   Well, you do not have to pick my brain because it is right in front of your head… man I have got to tell you something, this is a 6% yielder that has got good growth.. it is integrating the UST transaction, it is going to be monster good… I like the accelerator revenue growth in Phillip Morris, that is the old name… and MO, Altria… and I think that you should buy, buy, buy like it do… because it is one of my large positions in ActionAlertsPlus.com, my charitable trust.

FLIR

31.80

FLIR Systems Inc. (FLIR)

Jim:   You want to hold it, this is thermal imaging… this is a domestic security play, we have said it since the beginning of the year… 2010 is the year of the active investor, and why is that? Because we are going to invest in domestic security plays… FLIR fits that picture, I want you in it.

CKXE

5.33

CKX, Inc (CKXE)

Jim:   No, no, way too… look this is a Silvamen, I know Silvamen from Philadelphia, know of him… I have got to tell you, this is like the Freemantle, Manti Idle play, it is too dicey… it is too up in the air… it is a talent play, I do not invest in talent… I am not a guy who is a general manager or an owner of a team.. that is what I feel like with this one, I do not want you to touch it.

NUE

47.91

Nucor (NUE)

Jim:   My buddy Dan DiMicco… Dan this is a personal appeal to you, as well as to the large of your stock… Dan, I need you to be more optimistic about the corporate situation… because Nucor I think is a buy, and a lot of times when I speak to Dan I do not want to recommend it… but it does not matter, Nucor is the best steel manufacturer in the world… and in an environment where growth is getting better, that makes me want to pull the trigger, NUE, right here… I cannot believe that it is below $50... I want to buy, buy, buy… Dan DiMicco get on board with me.

ALSK

7.61

Alaska Communications Systems (ALSK)

Jim:   I was a little… I will tell you, I was a little bit turned off by the Verizon (VZ) price war… Verizon announced a price war today… but you know what, like Centurytel Inc. (CTL), like Windstream Corporation (WIN), I am going to stick with the idea that Alaska is good on the dividend… I would always, once again, everyone of these companies, these little guys… if the CEO’s want to come on, you know Leon Peltier, wants to come on the show to say, hey listen, the dividend is fine… I welcome it.

AMGN

56.25

Amgen Inc. (AMGN)

Jim:   You know I went thru all the data this week and what they announced… and I came back and I said that I still like Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD*) more, which I own for my charitable trust… and I like Celgene Corporation (CELG) more, Bob Hugin does a great job over there… Celgene and Gilead are better than Amgen.

SNDK

27.98

SanDisk Corp. (SNDK)

Jim:   A little profit taking, a little profit taking… you know I went positive in the teens, this is flash memory that does… this is a very good technology company with gadgets galore… everyone is selling all of these stocks because of Intel (INTC), which I bought hand over fist today… I am not a seller, I am a buyer.

T

25.79

AT&T (T)

Jim:   This is because of the price war between AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ)… I mean these guys really are at war, this is no thumb war, this is an actual price war… 1,2,3,4 everybody is losing in this thumb war… and I have got to tell you, my take on this thumb war is, it is not over yet… it is not over yet… so AT&T, you know that it is going to here at $25 and pay that yield… I think both companies will be okay, but I hate any companies that are in a price war… any companies…so right now, do not buy until the smoke clears from the price war.

TGB

5.01

Taseko Mines Ltd. (TGB)

Jim:   I think that it is a great spec, you know how I feel about the mining companies… I think this is the right time for them… as a matter of fact, let me go on the record, along with my friend Matt HorweIn, he and I were kicking it around, I think that you pull the trigger on some SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) right here… it has come down… it is time to get back in… you know I like the GLD, you know I like the junior gold miners, I like the Eldorado Gold Corp. (EGO)… you know what? It is the right level to buy gold… I am not kidding, it is the right level to buy gold.

HAS

32.16

Hasbro Inc. (HAS)

Jim:   I think Hasbro is a cheap and good stock, and a stable stock… it is a stock that I recommended it in Jim Cramer’s Stay Mad For Life...  I think that you should buy a share for your kids too… they all know it, it is well-run… It is a buy, buy, buy.

NFLX

50.95

Netflix, Inc. (NFLX)

Jim:   That is no beat down...   A beat down is when you go to the Boardwalk and you give a guy a beat down after he makes fun of you… that is no beat down, that stock is off the bunk for heavens sake…Hastings is always welcome, Netflix has a good business model… I think the Nintendo Wii is a good distribution streaming thing… I may sign up for Netflix this weekend… I do not want you selling Netflix, I want you buying Netflix.
